Northern Michigan needs a facility to help people with mental health issues. That's the recommendation of a Michigan House report. The region has a severe lack of psychiatric hospital beds.

We'll hear what local mental health advocates say about it.

Also, we look in on construction at FishPass, a big project along the Boardman-Ottaway River.

And the monarchs are coming! The butterflies, we mean, migrating back to Michigan. (King Charles and Queen Camilla are in the U.S. today, but that's someone else's story to cover.)
